Expansion Card

By Sweetwater on November 20, 2009

A printed circuit board fitted with a contact strip along one edge that allows it to mount into a corresponding slot in a computer. Expansion cards provide specific functionality not offered by the computer’s motherboard. Examples include video cards, audio interface cards, accelerated DSP support, additional FireWire or USB ports, network connectivity, RAID and SCSI controllers, and more. A wide range of expansion card formats have been used over the years, including ISA, Nubus, AGP, and more. Currently supported formats include PCI, PCIe, PCMCIA/CardBus, and others.

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. No interest will be charged on the promo balance if you pay it off, in full, within the promo period. If you do not, interest will be charged on the promo balance from the purchase date. The required minimum monthly payments may or may not pay off the promo balance before the end of the promo period, depending on purchase amount, promo length and payment allocation. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases and, after promo period ends, to the promo balance. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.

Applies only to select items from this manufacturer. Ask your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more details.
